The QUAD is not a toy: driving it may be dangerous. The QUAD is driven differently form from other vehicles such as cars and motorbikes. Even during routine manoeuvres like turns, driving on hills or over obstacles, collisions or tumbles can be quickly produced, if precautions are not taken. - Do not drive the QUAD before reading the sections: "Safety information", "Use of the QUAD", and "Main parts of the vehicle". Even if you are an experienced QUAD driver, not all makes and models are equal and it is necessary to know the machine in depth before starting on your first outing. - You are not allowed to carry a passenger, and the vehicle is not equipped for that purpose. - Sit correctly with both hands on the handlebars, your feet on the footrests and your back straight up. - Always control your speed according to your skills, the weather conditions and the ground characteristics. Pay attention to changes in the ground surface and control your speed when you are not familiar with them. - Always perform the routine checks described in this manual before using the vehicle, to make sure it is in perfect operating conditions, - Riding a QUAD is not like driving any other vehicle, and you will notice it specially when cornering. Practise on flat ground with free of obstacles and with no other vehicles around first. Read the recommendations in the section "Use of the QUAD" of this manual. - The same applies to steep climbs or descends. Start testing your skills with minimum slopes and raise the difficulty level little by little. Advice on this point is also included in the section mentioned above. - In case you stall the engine, follow the procedure described in the manual. If the engine stalls and the vehicle starts going backwards, follow the special braking procedure described in the manual. Climb off the vehicle to the higher side of the slope. - Remember that your safety comes before the machine's, and it is important to keep this priority in mind. -When going across a slope, move your weight to the higher side, read the manual's advice on that. Avoid very slippery slopes or with loose surface. - Never try to overcome big obstacles, like rocks or trunks. This vehicle has not been designed for that; it could be damaged and/or you might be injured. - Do not try to make the vehicle slide sideways if you don't dominate the technique in depth, because it may be dangerous. Like in the cases described above, do some testing on flat, wide and obstaclefree ground beforehand and follow the advice described in this manual. You must never lose control of the vehicle. - This vehicle has been designed to go through a maximum depth of 35 cm of water. Do not use the vehicle i ...
